Villa Stefanija

Highly recommended for anyone seeking quiet, quality time in nature rather than loud, party-style holidays. I spent ten days at Villa Štefanija and couldn’t be happier with the stay. The location is wonderfully peaceful yet only a short drive from Istria’s main beaches and towns. The apartment was comfortable, the staff (including restaurant service) attentive, and the views and pool made for a very relaxing break.

Very beautiful hotel with a magnificent view. We were very well welcomed. The breakfast is very hearty, with very kind waitresses who are really attentive. We also appreciated the little touches, especially the products made available in the bathroom: soap, shampoo, etc. Only small downside: the housekeeping could be a little better taken care of. Despite this, we had a very pleasant stay and recommend this hotel.

We just spent four nights in this wonderful location. A perfect, secluded place for people who long for peace. Our host Duška welcomed us so warmly that we immediately felt at home. The adorable house dog Bon (Jovi) also contributed to that. Duška told us many interesting things about the history of Villa Stefanija. We occupied the large suite with two bathrooms and two magnificent balconies with an incomparable view. The infinity pool is very beautiful, and you can find a variety of native insects and butterflies in the garden. The cicadas can be very loud at times, but those who love nature are not disturbed by that. Having breakfast by the pool in the morning was super nice, and we dined at the hotel twice - also by the pool with the breathtaking, romantic view of the water and pleasant dinner music. The food was absolutely top-notch - not exactly cheap, but worth every euro. The entire team at the villa was extremely friendly and always in a good mood. In the village of Barban (about 2 km away), you can find a supermarket, a very good pizzeria, and everything you need for your vacation. There is also a gas station on the way. Dear šišmiš, we will definitely come back one day. Thank you very much!
